Kobato. (こばと。) premiered in Monthly Sunday Gene-X in January 2005. Seven chapters were released under the title of こばと。(仮) (Kobato. (Kari), Kobato. (Temporary)), but the series was put on hiatus in late 2005. It returned to publication in Newtype magazine's November 2006 Japanese edition; the story has subsequently been restarted at an earlier point in the original timeline. The story features a mysterious young girl, Hanato Kobato, who works in a local kindergarten.
The first volume of the manga was released by Kadokawa Shoten on December 26, 2007.
Publication
Kobato. was original published in 'Monthly Sunday Gene-X' in 2005 and was put on hiatus that same year. In 2006 Kobato. returned in the magazine 'Newtype' where it appeared monthly.
In English, Kobato. appeared in 'NewtypeUSA' but as of February 2008, the magazine ceased publication.
Plot
Kobato is a sweet and perky girl, but also extremely naive about the world around her. She has a "mission" to fill her mysterious bottle with people's hearts she heals so her wish to go a certain place can be granted. However, the restriction is that she is not allowed to fall in love with any person whose heart she heals.
As Kobato attempts to fulfill her mission, she is accompanied by Ioryogi, a spirit in the form of a dog plushie. Because Ioryogi is responsible for a punishment that has been applied to him and his friends from the spiritual world, he must guide Kobato and ensure that she succeeds her mission so he and his friends might return to their true form or else, they will never return to their true form.

Suishou repeatedly says that while she found his old form "plenty wonderful", she also likes his current form as a stuffed toy, which Ioryogi dismisses. In the end, she is still joined with Kobato, as the illness that plagued Kobato's former life is still affecting her, though she is unaware of this due to Suishou's presence. Suishou explains that, when Kobato comes to the end of this life and reincarnates, her next body will be healthy enough that she will no longer need Suishou's support. | |
